I found the whole course so interesting. the feedback I was getting from the tutors throughout the course was so encouraging and knowledgeable it kept me focused and wanting to progress with each module. The hard copy course material I purchased was really helpful but I noticed there were a lot of spelling mistakes. spell check wouldn’t of picked up on it, as an incorrect word was used and spelled correctly but made the sentence not make sense.
This happened quite a few times as I worked through each module.

I chose the career academy To gain certificate/accreditation and to be of more assistance to my clients. I am doing a Cert IV in Accounting at TAFE SA but they are not geared up for XERO training yet but are working on. The $100 charged for notes is a bit high but appreciated. The 'free' memory stick of 2gb costs about $6.50 but not large enough for retaining work.* The quizzes could have been more extensive to improve learning
* The glitch where a tick provides where your up to has not been fixed.
* The assessment could have been more thorough to improve learning and retention.

It is difficult for me to go into Massey University at this time, and the Career Academy was very simple to join. What would of been slightly better for me, is for help with questions that I needed to re -submit (did eventually figure it out on my own). However in saying that I could not read further feed back in the margins as I am using word pad. I am currently getting Microsoft word sorted on my computer as it will not work. I have made this clear to tutors. Love the Career Academy and I am grateful for getting this opportunity to study in such an easier way.

It seemed like a great way of learning what i wanted and continuing my daily life. Nothing really, i learnt what i wanted and the content was great. i would suggest one more thing is, longer assessments, and more essay works. Thank you for the course.

Absolutely loved this course. I especially enjoyed the research. The more I researched, the more I learned, & the more fascinated with human behaviours I became. I particularly enjoyed learning about genetics & how chemical imbalances affect brain function. The positive feedback from tutors meant a lot to me, as I was pretty much told I was a dummy in school. I had a hard time concentrating in school because I was easily distracted due to my dyspraxia, so online study has been perfect for me. I never knew I was capable of doing anything like this, & would like to thank the career academy for making this possible. I don’t think I would change anything ( except to fix the numerous “typo’s” throughout the textbook) I think it is exactly right for a foundation cert level. If it weren’t for the fact that I was able to pay by weekly installment, I could never have done this course. So I’m very grateful for that. Thankyou Career Academy & thanks to the excellent tutors!!
